Windows 7 is the best OS Microsoft has done in recent years in my opinion.

8 is better, it's just that 7 was so "groundbreakingly solid" helping restore faith in Microsoft after horrible Vista. And a huge wave of FUD (almost like a paid job) concerning metro UI above everything sure did not help.It was so annoying to see tons of comments from peopl who did not even try that thing out yet.

Im not paid, I dont like the store concept apple and android have integrated as well. Windows 8 is big fail in my opinion

lol ghave u tried win 8?!?! It uses less resources than XP in my oppinion. Only thing i dont like is Metro but you can add a normal start button

I tried windows 8 for a whole month on a spare rig. hated it. put win 7 back on it and sold it.

As i said i hate only metro in win 8, but it is much faster than 7 and task manager is much much better in 8

I know of one, I wonder how many companies are upgrading to win7 rather than win 8? The one that I know who is going to 7, they are not doing because they don't like 8, but because the project started way before 8 was out and I guess they feel it would be too costly to change now.

Lets look in the past of Microsoft and Windows. As everyone notices eveery second windows is not accepted by ppl.

people loved win 95, win 98, xp, and win 7.. what are u talking about? only 2000, vista and 8 have been hated. the problem is that microsoft is trying to force innovation, instead of looking at what people actually want and giving it to them. problem is, there really isn't that much more that the typical person wants from a PC o/s.

Yes, I know who you are (see the quote in my signature); I actually can't disable logging on my webhost. If you don't like being tracked by third-parties everywhere you go on the web, you should install RequestPolicy.

I'm actually writing from win 2000 now and I must say it was good for it's time. Quite stable, if you count out hive/registry overflow bug, which was never fixed and can kill your system regularly if you are unprepared. Also you forgot windows ME which was utter crap.
